Student Government President James Franklin
met with leaders of various minority groups Thursday
to establish a Students Minority Leadership
Council.
Franklin began by introducing the purpose and
goals of the committee.
"This is a prospectus for the future, something
we can work with as minority leaders," Franklin
said. "We have wonderful ideas to bring together
the minority community."
Issues facing the committee include Desegrega
tion Commemoration, Greek relations and recruitment
of black students and minority professors to
USC, Franklin said.
"We want to see more minority professors and
students. We need something that is positive in
making this a diverse culture," he said. "There
needs to be a collective effort to represent the
whole population."
According to the proposal, the members of the
council will include present minority group leaders,
the student body president, and the student government
director of student affairs. A chairman will
be selected by the student leaders, who will each
have one vote on all issues.
There will be meetings once a week until the
council gets started, Franklin said, then monthly or
as much as possible.
"There is currently a Minority Presidents
Panel," Franklin said, "but how many of you will
be frank about problems with the President and
many of the faculty there? It's a different kind of
atmosphere."

"This is a prospectus for the

as minority leaders. We have
wonderful ideas to bring together
the minority community."
James Franklin
S.G. president
Franklin said, however, that the council is not
meant to take the place of the Minority Presidents
Panel.
"It is designed for minority student leaders to
work together in addressing minority student concerns.
These issues can be brought to the Minority
Presidents Panel as topics for discussion," he said.
June Godshalk from the Office of Admissions
also discussed the problem of low minority student
enrollment.
"No black students applied to the South
Carolina Honors College last year," Godshalk
said. "I think they are intimidated by a lack of role
models."
USC doesn't have a problem attracting black
students, but there's a lot of competition from outside
the state, "and we want them to stay in South
Carolina," she said.
Godshalk also discussed the Carolina Tipoff, a
program to be presented on Jan. 21. It will feature
a panel of black students and their families, who
will talk about their personal experiences at USC.

rity council
Students considering enrolling at USC are invited
to attend.
"We have 31 students signed up npw," Godshalk
said, "and if we get 50, it will be great."
Another problem Franklin discussed was student
apathy.
"I'm a little disgusted that we have not come
together as of yet," he said. "We have wonderful
things being done, but we don't have students
participating."
Franklin also said he was disappointed in the low
turnout for the meeting. "This shouldn't be. When
we work together as a people, we have so much to
gain. Separated, we have so much to lose."
Stephen Benjamin, president of NAACP, attributed
the low attendance to the letters Franklin
sent to the minority leaders.
"I was told that only about one-third of the people
invited to attend showed up," Benjamin said.
"The letter sent out wasn't too descriptive on the
purpose of the council. Maybe one-half of the people
didn't know what it was."
Benjamin said that lack of unity, not apathy,
was the biggest problem of the minority
community.
"The black students are closely-knit on the personal
level, but on the social level we don't bind
together as vehemently as we need to," he said.
Despite the low turnout for the meeting, Benjamin
feels the council may still work.
"The first try isn't always the last try," he said.
"The committee serves a good purpose. After talking
to James (Franklin\I found the plan was mostly
